' FI'RE EXTINGUISHER Original Filed Dec. 21, 1928 TTORNEY Patented] Mar. 8,"l932 WILLIAM Kazan, or irnwfiroiix, ,iII-YJQ rmn'nxrnveuism 1 Application filed Decemberizl, 192s,seria uqlsgz sli. n e eenarch aa, 931.

This invention relates to improvements in fire extinguishers and supporting means therefor, and has for one ofits objectsthe provision of a fire extinguisher, havinga V glass seal,and a support therefor which will break or separate at'a temperature of between 120 to 150 Fahrenheit, and eal-m. line with the glass seal for breaking same when the support is so broken.

Another object of the invention is-to pro vide normal supporting and seal breaking means for afire extinguisher of the character I referred to, said means comprising a bracket I having a vertical slot therein, a pair of flexl ible metal ribbons on th'e said bracket soldered to each other with a solder fusable at atemperature of between 120and l5O :Fal 1 renheit to form a support for the extinguisher, and seal breaking means at the bottom of 'the said bracket in line with the seal.

Another object is to produce a device of the character described in which the maximum simplicity tion is secured. a Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of theimprovements is better of construction and operaunderstood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and corelak tion of parts herein fully described and illus trated in the accompanying drawings, -where-. in similar reterence'characters are used to describe corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then finally pointed out and specifically defined and indicated in the appended claims.

The disclosurevmade the basis of exemplitying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention is not to be restricted to the exact de- 7 tails of this disclosure and the latter, vtherefore, is to be understoodfrom an illustrative,

rather than a restrictive standpoint.

The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions,

one of which for the purpose of illustration,

is shown in the accompanying drawings, in

i which r r I Figure 1 is a side view partly in sectionof my improved fire extinguisher and support.

Secured to the bracket. 1? toone side of the slot 18 thereis a. metal strip 19' providedwith abent upextension 20' to the underside of which there 'is sole .dered'a flexible m-etal'strip or ribbon 21 which:

is suitably secured to the bracket at the ad jacentside of the slot 18.= This metal strip 2l fj,is so formed as to providea supporting 'bridge,22 upon which'the bentfup ends 15; V a

From the foregoing it Will be seen. that I have provided a simple and eflicient fire exing fluid, a breakable seal at one end of the receptacle, a slide member on the receptacle. a bracket to slidably receive the slide member, a fusible support on the bracket to 11ormally support the slide member and receptacle,and means on the bracket for breaking the seal when the support is melted and the container slides down on the bracket.
